A small cave behind a big talus pile with the floor angled down at 40 deg or so. It has a wide - 9m, high - 6m, shallow funnel shape going down to a much smaller inner cave with width 1.9m, height 1.5m and length 3.7m.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: Access: via Mill of Muchalls down to Muchalls Shore and follow right through a reed bed. Rather boulder strewn and slow.

Probably best to park beside a field gate, before going under the railway viaduct, after which there are a number of houses, and chickens, ducks and several peacocks wandering.
